how about my car vs an 02/03 camry v6 auto
and also my car vs a 06 civic si coupe

assuming i got a transmission swap, 12 lb flywheel, neuspeed short shifter, carbon fiber hood, tein coilovers, full engine rebuild with some moderate headwork, regrinded camshaft (deltacam 260), AEM pulley kit, and new fuel injectors on top of my current mods.
The race takes place at a 1/4 mile track.

Your car will put out, at best, 150 to the wheels after all of that.The other two put out 160hp+

You'll still lose.

Here's a match that has gone down already. My car vs. an AMG C32 starting at 60 mph. I took him on a bend at 115mph. The driver, not the car. He was pretty pissed too ..... he took the same exit as me ..... I slowed down early and he slid in front of me in the right lane (I'm just relaxing now) and he decides that he's going to "Show me" how to handle a tight exit .... lol, so after we're ripping at over 100 mph, he guns it on this exit with 3 stop signs and a real tight circle. I was glued to his bumper the whole time ...... man I love my race-track suspension!!!
Sounds like all you did was cut him off and thats why he was pissed. He's got almost twice the hp you do and far better suspension.
nah ...... the race was side-by-side. He couldn't hold on in the bend. Like I said, I beat the driver, not the car ...... and how exactly does he have a "far better suspension" when I'm at 1.0 g? I agree that the car is balanced better and may handle slightly better, but I don't think the C32 is hitting 1.3 g's. Less than 0.3 g's I wouldn't consider "far better".

I know I will lose this battle, but by how bad do you guys think I will lose? 65 mustang vs my accord. My dad and I have talked about racing and i'm down even if I know I will lose. He makes fun of my exhaust cuz it sounds like i'm fast, but in all honesty i'm not lol. So how bad will I get it?

Is it the 6cyl mustang or the 289 V8? Is the mustang manual or auto?
Either way, I say the mustang wins.

How about this:
My 91 Auto Mustang vs Falkore's ride. 1/4 mile.

If it's the 2.3L 4 banger, I think I've got it!
